Big Joe returned to the stone building with the films. As he returned, he noticed the two ATC's, and the two Metra's with the weapons, and fuel. He knew exactly what was going on, and rushed into the building.
Big Joe: *Looks at the others, then at Kelly* I thought I told you not to let anyone in on this.
Kelly: Look Joe, we need all the help we can get on retrieving that gold.
Big Joe: You look. That Colonel was drunk. We don't know if the gold will be there. You're raising their hopes up over nothing.
Merner: That's what Major Colwin's doing to us for fifty credits a month.
Rancher: We don't have a choice when it comes to General Rancor, and his father. Kelly here has something for all of us. Even if there is no gold, we can at least end the war.
Big Joe: What did you offer these guys to help you find the gold?
Kelly: Everyone here gets a share of the gold when we find it.
Big Joe hesitated to ask his next question. He still had his doubts.
Big Joe: Are all ten of you going to risk your lives out there, going behind enemy lines?
Little Joe: Kelly's got it all planned Big Joe. We'll have support from three AAC-1's.
Big Joe: Who's in charge of them?
Kelly: Some guy named Oddball.
Big Joe: Oddball? He's a nut!
Cowboy: Just like all of us. Otherwise we wouldn't be here.
Big Joe: So you're all willing to risk your lives to do this, huh?
Crapgame: That's right.
Big Joe: Who invited you here Hustler?
Crapgame: I hate it when people call me that.
Kelly: I did. He's the one who got us the weapons, vehicles, and fuel.
Big Joe: Who's going to lead these people?
Kelly: If you don't, I will.
Big Joe: *Looks around at the others*
Little Joe: He's got everything planned out.
Big Joe: So you really want to do this?
Fisher: Yeah.
Corporal Baledin: *Nods*
Cowboy: Anything good enough for Fisher is good enough for me, and Rancher.
Big Joe: What if Major Colwin discovers we're missing?
Merner: He'll just assume we went out to the front lines.
Big Joe: *Smiles* Alright, I'm with you.
The others cheered. They were glad Big Joe would join them.
